The Manchester Military History society (MMHS) hosts lectures on military history on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in Hyde.

On 11th of June our presentation will be on the Peterloo Massacre of 1819. We will take particular interest in the military aspects of Peterloo.

Themes will include:

Who were the Yeomanry?
What was life like for a British soldier, after the Napoleonic wars?
How did the authorities and government seek to maintain public order in the early 19th Century?

The evening will be curated by Tim Cockitt, Chair of MMHS.
